>> eric: on september 11, terrorists assassinated four in benghazi. five spent months discussing what happened that night. we went 15 days in a row to discuss the benghazi tragedy. the left wing media accused us and fox for overdoing the story. today, the state department released this report. first, something peculiar happened a couple days ago. there is a briefing. hillary clinton called for report and said this. >> i am responsible for the state department and 60,000 people around the world. decision about the security assets are made by security professionals. >> eric: that first part again? >> i'm responsible for the state department. >> okay. i'm responsible. but hillary clinton is no-show

tomorrow. madam secretary bumped her head the other day and her doctor recommends she stay in bed. how about video link bedside? who is running the state right now? she can trun show but not testify. am i being too harsh here? >> bob: oh, no! why don't you get out of bed and come to congressional hearing? her doctor said she should stay in bed. what this report said is this is systemic failure in a lot of ways in the state department. there were no conspiracy here at all. >> you are a football guy. how many times do you play with concussion? >> five times. >> eric: how long was it before you realized you had a concussion? >> kimberly: bob is still concussed, in fact. >> eric: any reason we couldn't get testimony or say when you feel better, we'll get your testimony. >> kimberly: this is a duck and cover. clintons are great at this. i'd almost admire it but we

need her testimony. this is quantity essential classic behavior. she doesn't want to answer the question. would you want to answer them? no. but she has an obligation to the american people. >> bob: so you think she made it up? >> kimberly: i didn't say that she made it up. but we will hear from the concussion, short or long-term memory loss. not remember much. >> eric: dog ate my homework. >> kimberly: leak you do, bob. >> eric: should she step up and say when i'm feeling better, make the testimony? what if it's after january when they swear in a new secretary of state? >> dana: what she did here is took a knee, to carry the football analogy. >> bob: very good! >> dana: thank you. i didn't plan it all day, i just came up with it. i wrote it down right here. take a knee. i can cross it off now. there are couple reasons she should. one, she has an obligation, too. several people resigned today as a result of the report. when she says i'm responsible,

head of the state department, if something happened on our show, we are responsible we would not expect a producer to resign and say nothing. that is not leadership. not the right thing to do. third thing, she should testify because no one, the media is going to give her a pass on it. if she carries this around like extra baggage until she runs for president, she would look back and say i should have said i will testify in january. i am not saying she doesn't have a concussion. what bothered me is the spokesperson said, well, if there is an ongoing discussion about that in january, sure, we'll talk about it. >> eric: she will be there and -- >> bob: she will be there and testify. >> greg: how dare you question her motives. you so racist. wait, she is white. that doesn't work. >> dana: try again. >> greg: that's sexist. no, we haven't had a male

secretary of state. how can she get a concussion when she is ducking everything? this is something i don't understand. is there such a thing as second hand concussion? what about the media? the mistakes, 29 failures are the same mistakes that the media suffered because they mocked them they didn't think they were serious. they have the same symptoms that the administration has, second hand contusion. loss of priorities and proportion and loss of guts. this report is not scathing to the administration. failure of the media. bigger failure for is them. >> bob: do you vote -- dana showing that imparality. but the three of you are suggesting she doesn't have a concussion? >> eric: first, you are putting words in three of our mouths. has any doctor said it's a concussion?

i haven't heard it yet. >> greg: why don't we apply the same standard to school kids. i want a doctor's note. this report confirmed no protest to the attack. so this is remaking "jaws" without the shark. >> eric: i want to put a full screen up. no demonstrations. bob, you pointed that out. no major protests. al-qaeda is not dead after all. this one, systemic failures in benghazi, security. now, we find out there are systemic failure. >> eric: i hate to say it's not immune to government. >> bob: they said there were

similarric failures and they were. it does not mean that hillary clinton is not really sick. >> dana: a bigger question at the hearing. not just what happened that night but the policy that the state department was responsible for implementing now considered the arab spring now, the arab winter. were we providing resources we need? this is the other thing congress would ask her. aside from benghazi we have a bigger picture of what did we not do in wake of arab spring? that is the other part of the hearing i would think she wants to testify about. >> eric: we heard president obama or carney. al-qaeda is dead.

>> kimberly: that is someone not speaking the truth. al-qaeda and a.q. affiliates are alive and operating today and many terror experts would tell you in fact they are operating with greater strength than region. >> bob: affiliate, someone that used the name. they have direct ties -- >> eric: the media called us crazy to say we were on a story that didn't have legs. apparently it had more legs than they saw. >> kimberly: more legs than a centipede. >> greg: very good. you are learning. the same network said this is a thorough report, the same network avoiding everything we covered. will the media move to another story as if the report excuses them from the table. like it's a letter from a company. letter of apology from company that comes two months later. they moved on and you won't

cash in on the coupon. >> dana: like there was a class action lawsuit, they found it four years ago and you get $10. >> bob: you are an analogy man. >> greg: can i make a point? >> eric: >> bob: no. she should testify for one reason. it will start in the house. house cut back on state department. >> eric: now it's us. >> bob: sure. >> eric: your point? >> greg: thrill is something called fox news dismissal syndrome. if we cover something really well, other networks won't because they think that is fox news. they don't. nay dismiss it and niss news. i feel like if you're fox news don't cover it. >> eric: pull up the last full screen i have. this is senator feinstein who made this quote. press release that had me scratching my head. look at the second paragraph. secretary of state clinton has done the right thing accepting and implementing the board's recommendation. you led in to that. she has done the right thing, but five months later.

four dead americans. >> bob: she didn't know the problem until they had the study. >> eric: no, read the study. they asked for more security. >> kimberly: epic fail. they should have known and done the right thing. because of that, americans' lives were lost. >> dana: this is no different than the private sector. if you think of the private sector, the gulf oil spill. that ceo was out of there. i'm not suggesting it in this case but also criminal prosecutions. you get the mealy mouth responses from congress to report that media can dismiss? >> bob: that analogy doesn't hold up. in this case, they knew they had bad equipment. they allowed it to go forward. it was systemic. i don't think she had any idea.

>> eric: isn't that the same case -- >> bob: no! >> eric: that the consulate asked for more security on several occasions, and it was denied? >> bob: embassies around the world asking for more security. 9/11 approached. the problem was and you dismiss this, the house of represenrepresentatives refuse e state department appropriations they want. >> dana: that has been disproven. b. b >> bob: by who? >> dana: people who cover this with integrity like steve hayes of the "weekly standard" who knows more about this than any of us. >> eric: here is the point. >> dana: he does. >> eric: if this were a republican president and republican secretary of state and same thing happened would the left point fingers to the security breakdown? >> bob: of course they would. >> greg: i guarantee you, you won't see the same number of the late night coimmediateiance making a joke i hit my head. if george bush said i hit my head, the comedians would say

how could you tell? they won't make jokes about this. >> bob: have you ever noticed you say imagine if this was -- >> greg: because it's true. >> bob: oh, i see. >> dana: i think in a republican administration we never would have tried to get away with this, because we would have said, it will never happen. i know one thing for sure. president bush would have said the secretary of state, you need to go up there and answer these questions. that is definitely 100% what would have happened. >> eric: leave it there. coming up, president obama launches a new gun violence task force and puts joe biden in charge. what will it mean for your right to bear arms? we'll discuss. plus, the president got a little irritated when jake tapper asked him a tough question. that exchange coming up next. ♪ ♪

testify about benghazi. so we are actually going get some information about that. now, president obama holding a news conference today about stemming gun violence in america five days after the shooting at sandy hook. vice president biden will come up with proposals on how to prevent another tragedy by next month. the right to bear arms will be in focus. >> there is a big chunk of space between what the second amendment means and having no rules at all. that space is what joe will work on to try to identify where we can find common ground. >> kimberly: some people, including abc's jake tapper wonder why it took so long for the president to act. >> this is not the first incident of horrific gun violence of your four years. where have you been?

i'm pro-second amendment, i wanted to wait until things were going on. but president obama fired the first big shot with this. he said he will commission this report. this group. he spent a minute talking about the culture of violence. he was right on. then he stopped and spent 15 minutes talking about gun violence. he is off-base. gun violence needs to be addressed and addressed with a meaningful discussion. so does violence in movies and the violence in video games and breakdown in family, breakdown of religion. to me it sounds like biden commissioned to find out what is going on with ownership of guns. >> kimberly: respect to guns. limited to that specifically. >> bob: it will be brought in. to suggest the president of the united states waited five days, this show we said we shouldn't jump to conclusions here, we should wait. up there doing what he is supposed to do as president.

five days is quick time. >> kimberly: you think it's appropriate after what happened that he waited five days? >> bob: there is information we don't know. i agree, you need to talk about wide range of things. he made an important point. there is a big space between the second amendment arguments and those who want no rules whatsoever. >> kimberly: what do you think of the messaging? >> dana: it's not like they weren't warned the question was coming. jake tapper asked the press secretary yesterday. there are a couple ways to brief the president. when you go to jake he might asked you what he asked me. i think defensiveness is very unattractive in a leader. it doesn't inspire people to follow you. it gets people to roll your eye and go no, we answered the question.

they should have known it was coming. give him a dig-out to say look, i understand why you are asking. this is what we're going to do. positive messaging going forward. >> bob: it was a cheap shot question. >> give me a break. >> bob: cheap shot question. >> dana: let's have a contest. >> kimberly: every time you don't like somebody you come up with linguistics problem. >> dana: now you don't like a network news reporter because he asked a tough question? >> bob: correct. >> greg: i'm all for the conversation. the broader the better. it's not just about the guns but a lot of things. taking action is a symbolic act that appears to be sincere and it isn't. gun-free zone tells everybody

you are unarmed. gold old days, nobody knew if you had a gun in your house. people have alarm signs. in my neighborhood when they didn't have alarms because they thought the sign would protect them. >> kimberly: deterrent. >> greg: if you believe in gun-free zones put that sign on your house. but something tells me you won't. alternative solution is not say anything about whether you have a gun or not. the government should look at mental health and look at security. we spend billions in security for other countries. let's spend billions in our country. we have sky marshalls in planes. let's have school marshalls. i want to talk about a real conversation, which we're having. if you watch other networks where piers morgan is yelling at somebody. if someone walked in the studio and thrown a pie at piers morgan, the first

sentence he would say is where is the security? he has luxury of security. schools don't. >> eric: is there a law in the land that you think would, they could cast to stop the gun violence? is there one out there? >> bob: 1994 assault weapon ban. >> eric: it would stop -- >> bob: it would be a step. >> eric: because crazy people wouldn't buy guns? >> bob: it would be a step. so would mental health funding would be a step. you put it together. you have can't just walk away from guns. >> kimberly: i have something amazing to get to. coming up, quinton tarantino has a new movie on christmas day. is it responsible for bloodshed in america? that debate ahead on "the
